Suit Against Dispensary Commission for $7,000 Heard-The Claims Made. Columbia State. 20th. In Richmond yesterday Attorney General Lyon opened argument be fore Juh e Pritchard of the United States district court in the injunc tion proceeings brought by Garrett & Co. of Norfolk. Va.. and Weldon, N. C.. in which claims in the hands of the state dispensary commission are tied up. The arguments will be concluded some time today and the decision of the court will be awaited with much interest on account of the $700,000 involved in other claims now in the hands of this commission. It will be recalled that some days ago the wine firm of Garrett & Co. applied to Judge Pritchard for a temporary injunction, holding up all payments until the Garrett claims could be heard. This paper states that about $7,000 is due the firm by the commission and it is alleged that although several offers have been made the commission for a settle ment, all of them have been refusec and that the commission shipped back to Norfolk several thousand dollars' worth of wines which have been re fused and are not fit for use. The answer filed by the attorney general and Mr. W. F. Stevenson, the attorney for the commission, says that the commision decided to hold up all claims against the dispensary until further evidence. wanted on ac count of tha prosecutions that may follow, is produced and that no in tention of defrauding the debtors of their just dues has been intimated. The answer further states in many instances the firm bringing the suit has not conplied with the law and filed the proper bonds required un der the old law and therefore is en titled to no consideration. The iast clause in the answer rais es the right of jurisdiction in the United States court as applied to this case and the decision of the judge along this line will be awaited with interest ,by the commission. The wine firm alleged that the ap peal was made in the United States court because of the fact that thie commission would claim that the firm had no right to sue the agents o,f the state. A special from Richmond yester day says: ''Attorney General Lyon of South Carolina opened argument before Judge Pritchard in the United States district court here today on the in junction of Garrett & Co. against the South Carolin dispensary commission. The commission is represented by At torney W. E. Douglas of North Car olina. General Lyon will conclude his argienttomorrowmormnlg,com meneing at 10 o'clock for the com mission. The purpose of the injunc tion is to for~ce the dispensary com mission to repay damages resulting from the el'osing of the dispensary. The damages are estimated between $6,000 and $7,000. The case will be concluded probably tomorrow.' DINES WITH EOOSEVELT. Ex-Governor Heyward, of South Car olina, the Guest of the .President. A special to the Columbia State from Washington, under date of No venmlber 19, says: President Roosevelt had to lunch eon today exMov. Heyward of South CarolFna and Dr. Denny, president of Washingtoan and Lee university. With them he discussed the proposed me morial at some southern institution of learning to Gen. Robert E. Lee. Mr. Heyward is an alumnus of Wash ington and Lee UTniversity and he with President Denny is interested in its location at Lexington, the seat of the university. President Roo~sevelt proposed this memorial in aletter on Lee's birthday the 19th of January last, addressed to the president of the Washington Confederate Memorial association. The idea has gained high favor, both in the South and the North, and an organization is about to be form ed to promote it. The idea in the minds of Dr. Denny and Mr. Hey ward is to have it in the form of an endowmrent to Washington and Lee university, of which Gen. Lee was president, which was named in part for him and where he is buried. Gov. Heyward also discussed with the presidents the present financial conditions with particular reference to the situation in the south. conry Eupe ITer til wealthi amounts to $1 .000,000.000,. or aboutt ha tha of Switzerland.
